Married couples tend to look alike especially if they are really close.  So it doesn't surprise me at all.

Janet

It's true, people tend to seek out significant others that are similar to themselves. This can even happen with pets.

heh oh okay!! Too bad my cloths can't fit her. Unless she can clone herself because it would take two of her to fill my pants >.<

My god sweetie your so mean to yourself, please stop it!  Though I do like some of your clothes

god, Adrianna, yu are just absolutely gorgeous and extremely lucky to have Erica.....don't let her bring you to ohio, i might steal you for a night or two!!! 


lov ur hair!!!

Thank you all, your all so very kind and generous.  Frankly I think you may be fudging, but I don't mind I'm so very flattered.  Sorry Mekayla, even if I did go to Ohio Erica would keep a very tight grip on me.  Not sure why but, it doesn't seem like she ever wants to let me go lol

I love my hair too!  Even though it's only a wig lol. It is the closest one I've seen to my optimal want for hair style... but then again I'm not sure if that would even work for me... it's all just a dream really.

P.S
Kara, I'm not sure how common the knowledge is, but I loved the anime your avatar is from

trust me sweetie, i'm FAR from fudging!! i can see why she keeps a tight grip on you, i would too!!! =D

Yes blue. I suppose the best way to describe it is a 5 o'clock shadow-esque type thing... Worst part is I just shaved! I don't know if it's a reaction of the concealer my SO uses or what but it annoys the hell outta me.  I realise that it's Pride so I really shouldn't care, but the thing is... if I don't feel comfortable with my self at least a little.  I'm not sure I'll be able to muster the strength to go outside.

Like Kate said, the MAC counter is the best. I live in small town southern state and the MAC girl in Belks was perfectly cool.

What you need is a foundation that has a pink-orange base  to cancel out the blue-black color but she'll know.

As for the brows, yes, you can find a middle ground but you probably need to find someone to do it that you can trust with your secret.

Adrianna:

Might I suggest that you get your ears pierced?  Your selection of earrings is much greater with the pierced variety than the clip-ons.  But you will feel it *a lot* when the cat grabs your dangles! 

In time my dear, you'll learn how to put mascara on while on a moving train. Just don't do it while driving.  Also maybe you and Erica need a girls night in.  Where she shows you how to put your makeup on and then you do it.  Practice, hon, practice.  You're going to be a big girl soon and you had better learn how to do your own.


-Sandy

Mascara is easy - EYELINER is hard!

(at least for me)

Adrianna,
I think you look fab! The main thing I would say needs some fixing is the eyebrows (as everyone else has stated already, LOL) and for the future, definitely look into getting your ears pierced! Usually the earrings you get your ears pierced with (and you have to keep in for a few weeks anyway) are basic and unisex. The expansion of choices you have once you can buy pierced earrings is amazing! But for the time being, you might check out clip on hoops, as it's usually harder to tell they're clip ons with that style. Also, I love your hair! I think that would be a good style on you, and since it's short, it'll be easier to get to that style when you start to grow your hair out! I think it works for you, and short hair is soo easy to upkeep! Maybe just add in a few longer layers also so it's not too top heavy with the flip out style. (sorry, I'm really bad at describing hair cuts, I'm the type of person that brings a photo when I get my hair cut,LOL)

I think she ment eyeliner. Whenever I am putting it on i can see how she stiffins up. Thats why the make up ended up looking light on her eyes and stuff...because i had to redo it. The black eye liner was all over because she kept blinking and being terrified i'd poke her eyes out 

*grabs Adrianna* mine ...LMAO she attracts people no matter what gender she presents. I have to beat them off with a stick. I think she has a chick magnet in her head. LOL

The only way I know of just go do it.  Yes you may "put out an eye".  But you will learn how to do it.  It is the only way to learn,  My ex warms eyeliner pencil with a lighter.  I have tried that, and lightly burn my lid.  I use black eyeshadow and a brush, and alcohol as a wetter,  And try getting that into your eye. 

Janet.

I think I'll just let Erica do my make-up for as long as she wants... I'll just have to try and be less scared about the eyeliner.  Everything else is fine.

Adrianna, You probably shouldn't worry about it too much. Barbara Streisand has a fairly large honker going there. Some people find her attractive. I've been to two pride parades and seen some of the Drag Queens. Some of them are quite atrocious. I'm sure you will do just fine. Kisses.

i think she does not need anything redone, the key to make-up especially for us transwomen is to use make-up to highlight are feminine features and bring them to light. Adrianna, i was always frightened when my ex would do my eyeliner and mascara too, but after awhile, i got used to it and finally learned to do it myself after her persistence of "yu need to learn to this on your own". she's poked me a few times, but i've even been confident to even hold my 6 month old while she does it. i think now that i can do it on my own, she's hurt because i no longer need her to do it for me. now i've got to find someone new, and thats not easy, i've got three kids so i don't go out much.

I thank you all for your support.  My SO caught me just sortta staring at this thread after reading it a few times, her only comment was "Your ->-bleeped-<-ing beautiful, get over it!"  Still though it's hard to believe without being reassured by others who I'm not married to.  Sometimes I think she's jealous of me and it upsets her.  I don't understand why SHE would be jealous of me however.  I'm jealous of her, and every other born female!  Her sister is coming to visit us for Pride Week in Toronto. So it's going to be my first time getting dressed in front of someone I know other than my wife. It's a bit scary, but she's a lesbian so if she says I look pretty that will be a big bonus!  I'm still  a little afraid that I'll run into someone I know down there... that will be quite scary but I have to put up with it I suppose.  Funny thing is, I haven't actually "come out" to anyone but my wife. My father (and his wife) know according to Erica, but I never told them, because of that I tend to act like they don't know... even when my father is talking to me about it >.< It's sad and I shouldn't I know but... I dunno maybe it's a defensive reflex?  My wife has told quite a few people about me, including her mother.  I'm not really upset about it when she tells someone, I dunno i just feel scared

here's something I learned while posting on another board - if you see someone you know at Pride, THAT person is a slam dunk to BUT judge you harshly if anyone is. The very fact of where you met means you have found an ally, not a threat.

Not 100% maybe, but the odds are as good as they will get anywhere.

Yea I guess that makes sense....

it sounds like you have lots of support--way more than i ever did or ever will. seems like you have a lot of people that love you---hold on to them for dear life and don't let go not even for a second--or you'll lose them all. i had someone and according to most everyone it is my fault. all i have left is my kids. you seem to have a lot of support from your wife, she seems to love you no matter what gender you are, she's good with pronouns on here so i'll bet she has no trouble in RL. she seems not to care about labels and people asking questions if she's telling people(family and friends) that you are her gf/wife/partner. don't lose her, she's rare.

and i dealt with the jealousy problem with my ex too, i didn't need confirmation from people anywhere. she would always tell me i'm pretty enough without makeup, but i didn't know if i could believe her or not, she's was sarcastic some of the time and others not, she had to leave me b4 she could ever refer to me in RL as she and her, and even now she still slips(i try to subtly remind her), but it's hard half the time cause she "forgets" when she's yelling at her new bf and when it comes to family. if she had corrected people when i needed her too, not 6 months after the fact, i might have more respect from people i work with. yeah she was jealous that she lost her husband to another only problem is we are the other women, but you have one who can deal with it. cherish her forever. put her in a glass case if need be...lol.

Well we picked up Erica's sister... which means it's getting close. I'm so excited but also so very nervous.  I'm going to get my eyebrows done hopefully Friday, before attending the FIRST (in Toronto) Transgendered March.  Which my wife so lovingly signed me up for lol.  Her sister said she likes my wig, which is a good thing, although that was after seeing it sitting on the TV not my head.
